Abstract (en)

A method and an apparatus for aligning a phased array antenna, and a phased array antenna are provided. A method for aligning a phased array antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: receiving signals from respective antenna array subunits; performing phase shifting on the signals from the respective antenna array subunits, combining phase-shifted signals, where the signals are from the respective antenna array subunits, and obtaining a first signal, where a receiving beam corresponding to the first signal is a rotating receiving beam; rotating, by the rotating receiving beam, around a transmitting/receiving beam according to a preset angular frequency by using the transmitting/receiving beam as a rotation axis; calculating power values of respective first signals in a case that the rotating receiving beam rotates through different angles; and adjusting, according to the power values, a direction of the transmitting/receiving beam to align a phased array antenna.
